VA-Birders,
Joe's earlier post regarding HR 3824, the Threatened and Endangered Species
Recovery Act of 2005 (TESRA) may be an important law if put into effect. I
have not read the Act fully to assess the potentiel impact, so I am not making
a judgment here. However, I thought it might be important to provide some of
the necessary information to all of you if you would like to research the
pending Congressional action.
This link shows Congressman Pombo's opening remarks on the floor of the House
made last week:

He makes some interesting points regarding the current ESA law and its
effectiveness.
Here is a link to the Bill being considered in the House this week:

Also, the ESA is frequently updated and amended. This link points to some of
the recent bills that have atempted to do this.

I hope this helps!
